Abstract

The exchanges between Charles Taylor and Jürgen Habermas in recent decades have been numerous. Despite the many points of agreement, what distinguishes them is ultimately the way in which each interprets the advent of Western modernity. In this article I consider Habermas’s position on this issue and criticism that articulated the Canadian philosopher about it.
